So since school started I have just been doing a few small projects in order to get back in the hang of photoshop and re-familiarizing myself with the tools. The two small projects I have done involved morphing and just taking out certain colors. The main thing I was working on was making a custom snowboard just for me which turned out to be really fun and successful. I started out with a snowboard template and then just went from there, I got the image from a render pack that I found on the internet that included about another eight images. It took about five classes to get it the way I wanted and this was the project that familiarized with many of the tools I had forgotten about. A few were some of the texture effects and getting in the hang of using some of the basic tools like drop shadows, overlays, textures and lens flares. I already knew how to use them, this was just refreshing my memory so I'd be more comfortable with these tools. The hardest part was probably messing with the lighting and getting the right opacity for the image. I think the final board came out great and would love getting a board like this made. In the future I plan of just making a collage board, so it would just be filled with things that define me. Please comment and give some tips that could maybe make this board even better than it already is.
